And the barman says "We have a whiskey named after you! why the long face"
And the Walrus says goo-goo-ga-joob.
The raven just sits there, looking for all the world like a writing desk.
And the Highwayman sang "Two Piss, two Piss, two Pistols at my side..."
And fought for the old country.

Yes. I just read the 3 links and very much enjoyed them.
I have read them all before but not for a long time.
So Thanks 
I did teach one of my sons when he was about 3 years old to recite the following:
Quote: 'The time has come,' the Walrus said,
'To talk of many things:
Of shoes - and ships - and sealing-wax -
Of cabbages - and kings -
And why the sea is boiling hot -
And whether pigs have wings.'
Just after he got it committed to memory, we went out to an Indian Restaurant for dinner.
They had these Indian motifs or mobiles hanging from the ceiling.
There was one which was an elephant with wings and another which was pig with wings and another one which was a tiger with wings.
He got very excited and started shouting "Weather Pig... weather Elephant...weather Tiger."
He understood the last line of the quote above to be a statement of fact and not a question.
Lewis would have enjoyed that as well.
The highwayman has always been another favourite of mine.
The Highwayman doesn't walk into a bar. He walks into a Tavern.
The Raven would fly over the bar.
If the Walrus and the Carpenter walked into a bar, they would say "ouch", and do some serious crying together.
Thanks again _Maxxx_

OK, so it's not the most beautiful poem, but it's very deep!

One of favourites is an Llamados miners' lament:

Gold gold gold.
Gold gold?
Gold gold gold gold,
Gold gold gold.
Gold?
Gold gold gold!
Gold gold,
Gold gold gold gold
Gold gold gold..."

Delightful to have something about poetry on the Lounge !
If I have to limit myself to poetry that uses rhyme, then I'd have to choose: Milton's "Sonnet on His Blindness:" [^], the first poem I ever memorized (at age ten).
“I speak in a poem of the ancient food of heroes: humiliation, unhappiness, discord. Those things are given to us to transform, so that we may make from the miserable circumstances of our lives things that are eternal, or aspire to be so.” Jorge Luis Borges

You did not read all the answers above, did you ? 
Yes, Milton, of course. I could have mentioned several from him, and the one you linked to is great !

Has anyone seen this[^] series yet? I have and loved it. Amazing graphics and pretty good work by Neil Tyson.

Yeah, not too bad, I was a little concerned they were going to go the Carl Sagan route with actors for the historic stuff, I prefer the animation (in 20+ years it won't look as corny!) Cheers for the help!

That would have ruined it. I don't want to feel I am looking at history based movie. However, it does make me feel small, irrelevant and connected to everything.

What an awesome looking show I really like Neal D. Tyson.
Along with Antimatter and Dark Matter they've discovered the existence of Doesn't Matter which appears to have no effect on the universe whatsoever!
